That's not an answer to the question I asked. Who can we get on the market right now for the price you deem to be fair for a CB? Take into consideration the context of our desperation and the well known fact we have more funds than any team in Europe. What you are ignoring is we are there for the taking, we are buying from a position of weakness and will overpay for just about every player we buy.

He's a bit young to be going to the retirement league.
I agree. I am sick of us getting ripped off just because we can afford the inflated fees.
This is exactly how our PR team has been dealing with transfers recently. Deny everything until it's certain we're signing someone.
Also, that's a lot of money to bid and a lot of money to reject
Exactly. I wouldn't rule out us being the team that bid even though United are denying it. Godin would cost less if im not mistaken and would be an instant fix in my eyes.
5 year contract for Giovinco too!
its a good point. it must be a combination of the glaziers wishing they invested a long time ago, and them being fecking furious in situations they did offer the money but it was declined because fergie or a someone high up decided it wasn't worth it at that time ie hazard agent fee fiasco.
I think the weak € could actually make it easier for us to buy players abroad. 35m€ would've been £32m last January.
Just think how much we'll save on Bale and Messi
Didn't know the Euro had weakened that much against the pound. I expected 35m to be over 30m GBP
€120 million works out at £92 million........Bale?????
It's insane what happened to the € just in the last month.
Funny, cause Evans is also 26 but apparently he's finished.
But Evans is regressing faster than me, in front of boobies.
27, and he's getting worse.
Well, if Otamendi keeps his progress rate.
6 months ago -> not good enough for Valencia's bench and Argentina national team.
Second best CB in La Liga, according to some posters. As good as Godin.
Shame that he only once in his career played more than 20 games in a season.
If Otamendi is considered to be 26, then Evans can be 26 aswell. There's month of difference between them.
Yea but Evans doesn't play in a foreign league, so he's never going to be as good.

I only watch Porto in Europe or for the games against Benfica but i think that it's a normal thing Mangala played less than 60 games in 3 or 4 years. Falcao has apparently 51 games in 2 seasons.
Ah, of course. Must be why McNair is being written off at 19.
I wouldn't say that. He's just up and down. He was superb his first two seasons at United then played poorly the season after. Had another strong campaign the year after. His inconsistency probably stems from injuries and not getting an extended run in the side, like most every other defender. When he gets a run in the side, he's shown his class.
There's no hope for Evans anymore.
Yeah, probably.
What's Tony going to do with him
The sudden Valencia interest is odd.
Weren't they linked with Cleverley too in the summer? Really random link on both occasions.
Yeah, turns 28 soon so it's weird.
Bizarre.
Yeah that was another out of the blue one from the same Spanish club, just weird.
I laughed at this. I have no idea why. So many images of Fletcher cutting Tony's grass and telling him outdated mother in law jokes.
Why on Earth would Valencia sell their best defender for that price? Not sure in what world you think that's even a possibility.
hehe

He's clearly joking ffs Barney!
edit...
nobody saw that fail.
I think even Hernández was linked with them over the summer, IIRC.
